Freeworld: What is Happening in Phase 9 ? Inquiring Minds Demand to Know.

14th October
----------------

Draconus:
+1) 1 more of the haunted maps redone (at least a start)
+2) new texture added to skybox ground (this will be the texture until we can add texture changing code, maybe a long time on this)
+3) 4 more tree textures redone

13th October
----------------

King Dave:
+Everything now on our new dedicated WebServer :)
+Adjusted sky box code
+Working on new HP displays/spell display

Draconus:
+1) more maps improved
+2) more floor maps improved
+3) 2 new crystal textures added
+4) temp fix added for Nvidea Graphics Bug on many of the NPCs
+5) did some editing to the sky box model thanks to KD,Maccoy and Me (we know that there is a texture problem when the sky textures are changing and there is a small blending issue with the color of the ground texture in the distance, this will be fixed shortly. DO NOT post about bugs with the sky box or we will all be force to point and laugh at you.)
